African Parachute Plant

Wow, that is unusual...

Oh my goodness, its quite incredible, never seen one like this before Meanie, where are you getting them all from.

He he!!
I can't tell you how hard it's been waiting until I have a fully opened flower so that I could post a picture! Now I can post lots up.
Yorkshire; I got it a week or so ago from a local nursery - they like to keep an interesting selection of house plants too. It can be found in the wild in Swaziland.

your getting more and more tropical Meanie, are you feeling any better now.

Don't feel so bright today, but my mate Aran who had it a couple of years ago reckons that's normal. Generally, mostly better though.

you not back at work yet then,

No - it'll be at least another week!
I'm busy doing the invoicing, and chasing the debtors up!

Meanie I must be OK or it got lost in the post -------LOL Lovley photo

Thank you Johnjoe! It's surprising how many seem to get lost in the post.....

Another brilliant photo Meanie...

Thanks!!

Meanie:

It's a very interesting plant! Beautiful photo!

Thank you Delonix! They're quite a fascinating genus really.

Meanie:

I've seen this plant before...it's quite unusual! :>)

Delonix - I'll see how I get on with it, I would quite like a C.woodii

Meanie:

Good luck finding C. woodii! :>)

Very unusual plant Meanie.Just like an alien :)

irresistable photo certainly!

This is just coming back into bloom.
